[quote]MEXICO CITY, Aug 20 (Reuters) - A soccer match in Mexico’s first division was abandoned on Saturday after a shootout just outside a stadium in the northern city of Torreon forced players and spectators to take cover.

Players ran to the dressing room and fans dived for cover when shots rang out near the end of the first half of the scoreless game between Santos and Monarcas Morelia. Match officials suspended the game in the 40th minute.

Local authorities said the shooting began after three vehicles with armed men failed to stop at a military checkpoint outside the stadium, prompting an exchange of fire.

One police officer was wounded in the shooting, although no one was hurt inside the stadium.

Nobody had been arrested so far in connection with the shooting, authorities said.[/quote]

Santos chairman Alejandro Irarragorri, accompanied by his goalkeeper, went on to the pitch to make an announcement.

He told the crowd: “In the Santos club, we feel bad for the time in which we are living. It is evident that the game will be suspended.

“You can be assured that we will try to control these situations. We are sorry for Morelia, the referees and those who are visiting us from elsewhere.”
